0:07:01 > 0:07:05Ooh! Enough, I think! Put your board up.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- Why Susan?- Again, it was very harsh because we all got questions right.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Put your board up.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08- Why Chris?- I think he had the easiest question out of everybody. That's the only reason why.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13When the vote's tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.
0:08:13 > 0:08:20The strongest link was Chris. You voted for Kenneth, but you have a choice now between Susan,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Chris or Kenneth.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Sorry. I think I'll stick with my vote.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Kenneth, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
